Dear Bethany Family

On Sunday March 7, we witnessed an outpouring of prayer that has literally left its mark on Bethany Church. A walk around the sanctuary will remind us of our commitment to pray that God would do something extraordinary in the lives of those who call Bethany their church home. Taped to the walls are names of the men and women, young and senior, who profess faith in the Lord Jesus, who are able to accomplish exceeding abundantly beyond all we can think or imagine. I am very confident that the Lord is about to move in a mighty way among us.

March 28th, Palm Sunday, is another day that I am anticipating with great enthusiasm. Why? On March 28th Bethany Church will draw the curtain and showcase the various components of the vision that has led us to engage in an Extraordinary Stewardship Campaign. Material has been produced which highlights the work of God among us as well as detailing the manner in which we can embrace God’s future. The narrative includes recent history, video testimonies, architectural layouts and artistic renderings of the Multi-Site campus in Raymond and the proposed expansion on the Greenland campus. My prayer is that your spirit will resonate with the dream set before us.

As the Lord Jesus and His disciples entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, our plan is to visit every Bethany attender to hand deliver the above information person to person. We decided it would be too impersonal simply to send these materials in a mass-mailing. The message we desire to communicate is that we are in this faith journey together. There will be no soliciting and no conversation about pledges. This is simply a “porch visit” to remind us that we are engaging in this work together for the benefit of the Lord and our neighbors.

Together, with the Lord’s enablement, we will revive the spiritual landscape of New England. Let’s make Sunday, March 28th, a day to remember the Lord’s commitment to us and a day to galvanize our commitment to Him. Greet your neighbors with a smile and pray that God will accomplish something Extraordinary.

God is Good, All the Time,
Pastor Bruce
